Diffuse choroidal hemangioma in pregnancy: Symptomatic diffuse choroidal hemangioma spontaneously resolving postpartum.

We present the case of a pregnant young woman with symptomatic diffuse choroidal hemangioma (CH), diagnosed with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). Three months postpartum, there was full spontaneous resolution of the subretinal fluid and improvement in the visual acuity (VA). A 29-year-old, 31-week pregnant female with a coagulation disorder and enoxaparin (clexane) treatment, complained of a left visual disturbance of 2 weeks duration.

Masquerading solitary plasmacytoma; an eyelid lump in disguise.

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare orbital lesion, most commonly appearing in patients with multiple myeloma. We report a case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with a left upper eyelid lesion, initially misdiagnosed and treated as a chalazion. Histopathological testing revealed plasmacytoma originating from the frontal sinus.

Telemedicine comes of age during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): An international survey of oculoplastic surgeons.

Purpose: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is an ongoing healthcare crisis that continues its worldwide spread. Ophthalmologists are at high risk of acquiring and transmitting the virus. Telemedicine platforms have evolved and may play an important role in attenuating this risk.

Concomitant adult onset xanthogranuloma and IgG4-related orbital disease: a rare occurrence.

Adult onset xanthogranulomatous disease is a rare orbital disease. IgG4-related disease is a systemic disease that can often manifest in the orbit. In this communication, we present the case of a patient with a xanthelasma-like lesion on the upper eyelid, and an enlarged lacrimal gland, which on biopsy was diagnosed as an orbital xanthogranuloma.

The impact of IgG-4-ROD on the diagnosis of orbital tumors: A retrospective analysis.

This study was to determine the prevalence of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related orbital disease (IgG4-ROD) among patients who have previously undergone biopsy and were diagnosed to have idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease (IOID) or orbital lymphoproliferative disease (OLD), namely, lymphoma and benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (BRLH). This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. The charts and slides of all patients who underwent biopsies and were histopathologically diagnosed to have either IOID or OLD were reviewed.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the lateral rectus muscle.

Plasmacytoma is an uncommon presentation of plasma cell malignancy, especially in the absence of multiple myeloma. Orbital plasmacytomas generally originate from bone, although few cases in the literature report orbital extramedullary plasmacytomas. We present the case of a 68-year-old man found to have a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma in the lateral rectus muscle without further evidence of multiple myeloma.

Dacryolithiasis: A Review.

Purpose: To review and summarize the clinical features, presentations, diagnostic modalities and management of dacryolithiasis.

Methods: A comprehensive PubMed search of all English articles on dacryolithiasis was reviewed. Although this review primarily relied on articles written in English, non-English-language articles that had abstracts translated into English were also reviewed.

Surgeon point-of-view recording: Using a high-definition head-mounted video camera in the operating room.

Objective: To study the utility of a commercially available small, portable ultra-high definition (HD) camera (GoPro Hero 4) for intraoperative recording.

Methods: A head mount was used to fix the camera on the operating surgeon's head. Due care was taken to protect the patient's identity.

Effects of growth hormone therapy in children after cardiac transplantation.

Background: Growth hormone (GH) is used to treat growth failure in children with GH deficiency. The safety and efficacy of GH after pediatric cardiac transplantation is not known. The objective of this study was to evaluate growth and cardiovascular effects of GH in children with growth failure after cardiac transplantation.
